Question : If $6088x=7610$, then value of $x$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{5}{4}$
Option 2: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 3: $\frac{6}{7}$
Option 4: $\frac{7}{6}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{4}$
Solution : Given: $6088x=7610$ ⇒ $x=\frac{7610}{6088}$ ⇒ $x =\frac{5}{4}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{4}$.
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related similarly to the numbers of the following set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.) (2, 114, 19) (12, 216, 6)
Option 1: (5, 20, 2)
Option 2: (6, 144, 8)
Option 3: (11, 176, 4)
Option 4: (4, 128, 7)
Correct Answer: (6, 144, 8)
Solution : Given: (2, 114, 19); (12, 216, 6)
In the given sets, multiply the first and the third numbers by 3 to obtain the second number. (2, 114, 19)→3 × 2 × 19 = 6 × 19 = 114 (12, 216, 6)→3 × 12
Question : If the external angle of a regular polygon is 18°, then the number of diagonals in this polygon is:
Option 1: 180
Option 2: 150
Option 3: 170
Option 4: 140
Correct Answer: 170
Solution : Given, Each exterior angle of a polygon is 18°. We know that the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360°. Number of sides of polygon = $\frac{360°}{\text{each exterior angle}}$ ⇒ Number of sides of regular polygon, $n$ = $\frac{360°}{18°} = 20$ $\therefore$

Question : A and B undertake a piece of work for Rs. 250. A alone can do that work in 5 days and B alone can do that work in 15 days. With the help of C, they finish the work in 3 days. If everyone gets paid in proportion to the work done by them, the amount C will get is:
Option 1: Rs. 50
Option 2: Rs. 100
Option 3: Rs. 150
Option 4: Rs. 200
Correct Answer: Rs. 50
Solution : Given: A and B undertake a piece of work for Rs. 250. A's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{5}$ B's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{15}$ (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{3}$ So, C's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{3}-(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{15})=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{4}{15}=\frac{1}{15}$ The ratio of
